EXHIBIT

The Great Restoration Adventure

Celebrating the Craftsmen of Notre-Dame de Paris

On April 15, 2019, the world watched in horror as fire engulfed the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, one of the most treasured structures of the last seven centuries and a cultural landmark of universal value. Not only does Notre-Dame embody the soul of global—and French—heritage; it is also a testament to centuries of belief, history, art, and architectural brilliance. Its restoration transcends mere reconstruction; it signifies humanity’s commitment to preserving the cultural treasures that bind us all. 

The ceremonial reopening of Notre-Dame on December 27, 2024,  reinforced the importance of preserving and cherishing our global heritage for today, and for the future.

This exhibit celebrates the extraordinary skills of the craftsmen and artisans responsible for bringing the cathedral back to life. Because of their talents, Notre-Dame de Paris has been saved to  inspire future generations.
